This is the source of the web2py ajax function:
function ajax(u,s,t)
{
var
query="";
for(i=0; i<s.length; i++)
{
if(i>0) query=query
+"&";
query=query+encodeURIComponent(s[i])+"="+encodeURIComponent
(document.getElementById(s[i]).value);
}
jQuery.ajax({type: "POST", url: u, data: query, success: function
(msg) { if(t==':eval') eval(msg); else document.getE\
lementById
(t).innerHTML=msg; } });
}
As you can see it calls jQuery.ajax which is more powerful and you can
pass "data" it. I think you can do what you need using the
jQuery.ajax.
